As a person who would like to have Medicare in 14 years, and as somebody who would like to start getting Social Security in 11 years, I feel quite threatened by Romney\/Ryan. I also don’t quite buy into the notion that Obama will definitely win (easily or otherwise) in November. I don’t trust the Republicans not to have things fixed just enough to get by, and I don’t trust a large number of the voting public to not be a bunch of fucking morons. I guess it’s probably better that the Republicans aren’t coming across as “centrists,” because, times being what they are, a lot of disgruntled people would probably go for a change at the top – assuming they didn’t have to elect raving lunatics to do it. Still, the media wants this to be a “horse race” and so they’ll make it out to be one for as long as they can (step one, Ryan is a “bold” choice).<\/p>\n


\nJohn McCain is on board with the “bold” meme<\/a>. Just like his “bold” choice of Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) heaped praise Sunday on Mitt Romney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s selection of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as his running mate, saying it was a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bold<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d decision as his choice of Sarah Palin in 2008 was.<\/p>\n

Appearing on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fox News Sunday,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d McCain didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t compare Ryan to Palin on substance, but instead described him as a similarly gusty<\/strong> choice because other candidates may have better helped Romney win their swing state.
\n[…]
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think that in this case it is also a bold choice,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he continued. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Many people thought that other people who were being considered might bring home those states into the Romney column. I think this is a pretty bold<\/strong> choice as well<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Got it? Bold<\/strong>. Oh, and I’m assuming he meant “gutsy” and not “gusty,” but then again, Ryan is kind of a blowhard, so maybe not.<\/p>\n

McCain also says Obama is doing a good job of making Romney seem “unacceptable.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Sunday slammed President Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reelection campaign as one of the most \u00e2\u20ac\u0153disgraceful\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and negative he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ever seen, but conceded that the attacks have \u00e2\u20ac\u0153succeeded to a certain degree\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at disqualifying Mitt Romney with voters.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Personally, I think Romney is the one who’s doing a good job of making himself seem unacceptable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
